“My daughter is 12, and in a fangirl stage where she obsesses over pop culture – interests that I share, too, so we are very close. But her dad doesn’t share those interests and their relationship is suffering.”
I dated my ex for two years and we broke up about ten months ago. He is not the father of my kids but he told his current girlfriend that she has no choice in the matter of my kids being in his life and vice versa. The interesting thing is that my kids don’t call him or even ask for him; maybe they just take him for granted. My son is a teenager and understood that my ex and I broke up and have tried to stay friends. My four-year-old never cried for him when we seperated but speaks of him as an distant friend. When my ex calls he will…
I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years and six months. Lately, we have had lots of arguments and he started to change and now he is moving out. It started after he took me to meet his parents in Australia. We had talked about marriage with his family and we agreed to get married next year and now all of a sudden he’s telling me he is not ready and he wants space to think! But I have seen the engagement ring in the wardrobe for about a year. Don’t you think that’s odd? Anyway, he is moving out now and trying to be all nice until he goes. Do you…
In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: Three years ago I married my husband. Our situation is definitely weird. I had just turned 18 when we met. He was 20. We only dated about a month and a half before we got engaged. He asked me to marry him a week or so before he left for basic training in the army and he was gone the first few months we were married so we never spent time together. He shortly realized he didn’t want the army life and got out. Since then,…

I recently gave birth, but I broke up with my ex, who is also the baby’s father and currently in jail, before I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t want him to be a part of his daughter’s life because of the way he treated me. Now his family…
It’s time again for Shortcuts. For every question, I’ll give my advice in just a few sentences, because sometimes the answer to a person’s question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great, being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go.
Tips for knowing when it’s the right time (or the wrong time) to move in with a significant other.

I’ve been in an open (lesbian) relationship for just over a year now and for the most part it’s fine. But I think my girlfriend likes the attention from guys, and so do I, which is why we keep our relationship open. Sometimes we go months and months without sleeping with anyone else, and then, when we do, some feelings of resentment arise; it’s easy to feel threatened by a man I don’t know who’s having sex with my girl. I know she gets the same feelings because there was a time early on in our relationship where she would give me restrictions on who I could and couldn’t sleep with, but…
I’ve been in a committed, fantastic relationship with a guy for just under six months. We’ve said “I love you,” discussed marriage, are looking for houses, etc. We’re being careful not to rush and I’m confident I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I always promised myself I would never become a controlling, paranoid girlfriend, but lately, I’ve been finding it hard not to “snoop” through his comments and posts on websites and forums and what I’m finding makes me paranoid. My boyfriend’s online persona is much more coarse than his real-life personality. He sometimes makes sexist remarks and exhibits a lot of behavior and uses language I…
